Chereads / Akame Ga Kill: Bloody Maiden / Chapter 13 - Imminent Crisis.

Chapter 13 - Imminent Crisis.

[Library of Ten'nō, ???]

"5 years...we have five years..." A quivering voice muttered as they looked at a large white book. The voice belonged to a young man with blue hair and dragon scales littered across his naked body.

The young man closed the large white book and floated to another part of the never-ending library. He took out a book name Records of Ten'nō and the book was wrapped in a red chain that glowed dimly. When the young man placed his hand on the chains a loud voice boomed.

"Do you know the consequences of opening this book child?" The booming voice asked to which the young man nodded.

"Yes, Progenitor."

"Then may the knowledge stored in this book be useful to you." At those very words, the chains disappeared and the young man opened the book. When the young man laid eyes on the first page he dropped the book and clenched his head in pain.

"AAHHHHH!!!" The young man floated in pain and began leaking blood from every orifice. While he was screaming in pain, a great amount of knowledge entered into his mind and soon he stopped yelling.

"Haaa...haaa...haaa..." The young man floated for a while before examining the knowledge that he gained. The deeper he examined the knowledge the more fearful he became.

"Rhish'tath, the Dominator..." The young man uttered that name in fear before closing his eyes.

"I need to warn them." The young man made an X with his fingers and he vanished out of the library.

[Floating Castle, 5 days after the reunion]

"A nice hot bath right after training..." Vedeath sank deeper into the swimming pool-sized bathtub.

"I know right, it's nice and cozy." Vedeath opened her eyes in annoyance.

"Mana, what're you doing here?"

Mana scratched the side of her head and smiled.

"Uhh, bathing?"

"I can see that. But why in my bathroom? You have your own..." Vedeath noticed Mana's eyes kept looking down and once she followed her eyes, she fought a rising blush. Mana was staring at her boobs.

"Wow look at these melons!" Esdeath came behind Vedeath and grabbed a handful of her 'melons'. Vedeath's face turned bright red and she resembled a tomato.

"E-Es-chan, please s-stop." Vedeath managed to mumble and Esdeath smiled deviously.

"Stop what? Stop this?" Esdeath began to fondle Vedeath and Vedeath covered her mouth to hide a certain noise.

'Fine, if she wants to play like that!' Vedeath mentally exclaimed as she created a small beam of light that began to travel down Esdeath's body. The beam of light stopped right above Esdeath's cavern and Esdeath immediately stopped fondling Vedeath.

"Hehehe..." Vedeath pinned Esdeath down whose face was also a tomato.

"Now what do you say Es-chan?"

Esdeath mumbled some words and Vedeath smiled and moved the beam of light closer to Esdeath's cavern.

"What was that?"

Esdeath couldn't cover her mouth so a slight moan came out of her mouth and she answered shortly after.

"I-I'm sorry V-Ve-chan!" Vedeath smiled and got off of Esdeath.

"Now I'm sure you've learned your lesson?" Esdeath nodded with a red face and Vedeath patted her head.

"Good." Vedeath stopped petting Esdeath and returned to the bathtub. All the while, Mana was watching the entire ordeal with a pleased expression.

"So Mana, are you guys sure you want to defect from the Empire?" Vedeath asked Mana who nodded her head.

"We all agreed we rather defect. The Empire is full of cowardly, greedy, narcissistic assholes. And personally, I like being under the leadership of two beautiful women." Mana winked at Vedeath and Esdeath.

The sisters ignored Mana's sly comment and they proceeded to bathe. Until suddenly, the sisters collapsed putting Mana on high alert. Mana immediately rushed to the unconscious sisters and tried waking them up but to no avail. Soon after, Mana called for help.

[Soul Scape]

While Mana was panicking in the physical world, the sisters found themselves in a large frozen throne room.

"Have we been transported by another being who just so happens to be a descendant of a primordial creature?" Esdeath sarcastically asked and got a laugh out of Vedeath.

"I sure hope not, I don't think I can handle being related to another primordial creature who can just think and turn a galaxy into space dust." Vedeath responded as a slow clap resounded throughout the throne room.

"You two are as funny as ever..." A deep voice remarked and slowly, a smile crept on the sisters faces. Seconds later, a tall blue-haired young man walked in.

"Huh? Who is that?" Esdeath pointed at the young man with a confused look. Vedeath shrugged and the young man almost vomited blood.

"It's me guys! Samui?" Samui said with a clear look of distress on his face.

"Wait, really? You don't look the same, how did you go from a huge dragon to a handsome young man?" Esdeath questioned and Samui chuckled.

"I could say the same from you two. You two look more like dragons every day, and it seems Esdeath has gotten into a difficult battle." Samui seemed to be sympathetic of Esdeath's scar to which she simply nodded.

"True but over the year you've been gone, we've gotten a lot stronger! We even bonded with Spirit Koi!" Vedeath gloated as she expected a reaction out of Samui but all she got was crickets.

"Really? Spirit Koi? Is that what they call themselves?" Samui struggled to contain his laughter which greatly confused the sisters.

"Lemme guess, they suddenly began speaking in your head and talked about being Spirit Koi of the Spirit Forest or whatever right?" The sisters recalled their meeting with the Koi Fish and slowly nodded.

"And they also had you drink a pond full of Magical Energy as well?" The sisters once again nodded and Samui contained his laughter once again.

"Those Koi Fish are actually your Familiars. The Yin and Yang Familiar's are known for constructing fairy tales to make their user seem like they've stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In reality, they are the most common type of Familiar's but since no human on this planet can use Magical Energy to form a bond they are basically the strongest elemental beings on this planet besides Dragon's and Him." The sisters were shocked at this newfound information and Samui quickly added onto his statement.

"Now that's not to say that they are weak, in fact, despite being the most common they are the strongest out of the common Familiar's. You'd have better luck bonding with them than finding a Relic Familiar."

"But that's beside the point, I've brought you two here for a specific reason." Hearing the seriousness in Samui's tone the sisters became more focused.

"I have come to give you two a warning."

"A warning?" Vedeath questioned and Samui closed his eyes and exhaled.

"Yes, but before I give you the warning allow me to give you some background." A table with three ice chairs was created and Samui began explaining the context of the warning.

"So you two remember how I said our Progenitor was born from something called Primordial Matter right?" The sisters nodded and Samui continued.

"Well, it seems I wasn't told or I didn't bother to figure the truth. You see, it wasn't just our Progenitor that was born from the Primordial Matter there was another being, who called herself Rhish'tath."

"Since Rhish'tath's birth, she has always been a dominator and has conquered countless galaxies but the one thing she couldn't dominate was our Progenitor, Ten'no. Due to that, our Progenitor and Rhish'tath fought for eons until Rhish'tath somehow got the upper hand on our Progenitor causing him to disguise his race and seal himself away. Since our Progenitor sealed himself away, Rhish'tath having nothing else to do, decided to hibernate. Now according to my Progenitor's records, her hibernations usually last around 300,000 years," Samui exhaled once again in fear of his next words, "And it seems that she will awaken in the next five years..."

"Wait...so you mean to tell me there is a being as powerful as our progenitor and she's going to wake up in five years?" Esdeath couldn't fathom the thought of someone so powerful being unleashed in five years.

"Unfortunately, yes. I have no idea how we are going to beat her but unless we have the help of the progenitor himself, this planet is as good as finished."

"Why this specific planet?" Vedeath calmly asked and Samui nervously smiled.

"Majority of the dragon race takes refuge on this planet. The progenitor may be alive but as I mentioned before, he sealed himself away until someone can harness his abilities. Rhish'tath will definitely target this planet and will destroy it with ease." Samui stressfully exhaled and the room went quiet. The one thought on everyone's mind was how to defeat or at least hold-off Rhish'tath.

[Evolution Center, Xelnotania]

"Begin Operation Awakening." A tall bug-like creature commanded. The creature had the same four limbs like a human but instead of skin, it had a shiny red exoskeleton, similar to that of an insect. The insectoid had a large horn protruding out of the top of its exoskeleton and had two black beady eyes along with a jaw full of black teeth.

"Yes, General Satan."

The insectoid now known as Satan, watched as multiple scientists hooked up tubes to a gigantic black orb. The tubes began to pump the orb with some type of red energy and Satan left that section of the facility. As he walked through the white research facility he got many bows and salutes. Satan ignored these signs of respect and made his way across the facility. Minutes later, he walked through an air-locked door and into a huge warehouse. This warehouse was more like a hangar and factory combined but warehouse is used for convenience purposes. At the end of the warehouse was a house-sized red portal and the warehouse was filled with Klyntar's.

Satan watched from a metal balcony and soon a scientist came to greet him.

"Greetings, General Satan." The blue insectoid greeted to which Satan ignored.

"Have you begun reverting the children into their true forms?" Satan questioned and the scientist quickly brought up a holographic HUD.

"Yes, and we have also been adding mutations gained from creatures in this galaxy. If all goes well, we will have a lieutenant born by next week."

"Good. Call the children back and revert them all into their true forms. If a lieutenant or commander class appears then inform me, understand?" The scientist quickly saluted and Satan left the warehouse.

"Only a little while longer until you awake my queen."
